not a huge audio guy on this but soun ds like a blown fuse, amp could of burnt out or the most common a bad ground....check grounds first and make sure it is metal to metal contact with no paint in between them.

your amp should have a light on it, green is where you want it to be, if its red then it has power, if its red, check your ground and your remote wire, make sure its coming off of the soild blue wire from the cd player harness, if no light at all then you have a power problem and check the big fuse and connections

i have had a powerwire get smashed and it stoped working. i replaced it it worked. also make sure all your wires arnt tucked all on the same side of your car that can do some odd things too.

Running all the wires on one side of the vehicle doesnt matter. the only thing it will affect is if you do that on a high frequency setup (4 channel amp) you will get feedback and engine/ground noise.

actually, its the blue/white on the back of the radio. solid blue is the power antenna lead.

if your not getting any power at all to the amp it is prolly the ground i had the problem that dirt would get in between the ground connection. i would take your ground off and clean with a wire brush and wash it let it dry and take a can if air to it than see whats going on....also check the connection to the battery itself
